¶2. XXXXXXXXXXXX
He confirmed that he had conferred with GoF officials, including
President Chirac, on the timing and fallout of his issuance of
arrest warrants against top Kigame aides and warned against better U.S.
relations with Rwanda. Bruguiere also confirmed rumors that
he will likely be leaving the top terrorism court to pursue
political ambitions. END SUMMARY
XXXXXXXXXXXX
RWANDA
------
¶6. (S) Bruguiere confirmed that he had consulted within the
GoF on his issuance of arrest warrants in the cases brought
PARIS 00000322 002 OF 002
against nine of President Kagame,s top aides for
assassination of President Habyarimana and three French
aircraft crew (see reftel A). He said he presented his
decision to French officials, including President Chirac, as
his independent judicial right, but chose to consult with
them because he was convinced of the need to coordinate
timing with the government. Bruguiere said he was not
surprised by Rwanda,s official reaction, and said that the
GoF had prepared for what it thought would be a violent
response against French nationals. He praised his own
decision to move forward, adding that the international
community had a certain moral responsibility, and that his
actions were in the pursuit of justice. Bruguiere was
satisfied that the nine individuals he listed could not leave
Rwanda without fear of arrest, but was doubtful the ICTR
would take up the case. (COMMENT: Bruguiere,s presented his
case in a very professional manner, but he did not hide his
personal desire to see Kagame,s government isolated. He
warned that closer U.S. ties with Rwanda would be a mistake.
END COMMENT)
BRUGUIERE MOVING ON?
--------------------
¶7. (C) Since 1982 Bruguiere has been one of the leading
players in the French fight against terrorism, and he is
considered a leading world expert in terrorism. He has been
the chief of the French counterterrorism court, created in
1986, since its inception. He has survived at least one
direct assassination attempt, and is the most visible
counterterrorism figure in France. Bruguiere,s ambitions
have now turned to the political, however. He told us that
he is likely to run for a parliamentary seat later this year.
Bruguiere also casually mentioned that a cabinet post
(Minister of Justice) would be his first choice. His
departure will be a loss to the court, but it has become a
solid institution under his tutelage and it,s clear that
Bruguiere intends to stay an active part of the C/T community.
